Gingery Shrimp Stir-fry An Oriental Classic

Shanghai Shrimp Stir-Fry features tender shrimp, broccoli and sweet onions. As with all Chinese cooking, fresh ingredients and seasonings are paramount.

Fresh ginger, for instance, is what makes this dish truly special.

In this recipe, the ginger and soy sauce season the shrimp prior to stir- frying, while the fennel, cloves and black pepper simulate the traditional Chinese ''five-spice'' seasoning in the sauce.

Tender, yet crisp with bright color and contrasting texture, this stir- fry captures the flavors of the best of Oriental cooking. As written, the recipe uses only a small amount of shrimp, but you could easily double the amount of shrimp. Boza recommends serving the dish with a package of ramen noodles for a complete meal.

The recipe was Orlando Sentinel kitchen-tested by Boza and was developed by Kikkoman Kitchens.
